Gears 5 Main Ranking Thread

Think I saw on Twitter Ryan mentioned they’re going to change the ranking system to where it’s more “fun” whatever that means. But I hope they do. It’s still way to much of a grind

I had an Idea last night, the simplest thing that is outraging everyone, is the fact that losing points when you win is the source of all this frustration. Solution:

Baseline if you win, you get points, or if you performed badly, get no points. Baseline on a win should be net 0 points.

THEN factor in the silver killing master points, ect. So the ones who managed to kill a master get mad points, the master who got killed by a silver and still won, gets less points.

(if you wanna get nuts: through a KDR multiplier in the mix to determine final points, ESPECIALLY in TDM, the mode that suffers the most from this non-sense)

EZ-PZ, please make this not the only game that punishes the top tier of the winning team in an intense game :smiley: Thanks.

As soon as I lose a round, I might as well just stop playing . This is hands down the worst ranking system I’ve ever experienced.

The top screenshot this was my score:

System is broken on a fundamental level.

hahha, hard to argue with that…

but hey, really good players make it to Master, so I guess it’s all working as intended, right???

This is the whole issue with the system. Lost rounds are punished ridiculously harshly. Whilst you gain very little for won rounds.

The system expects you to win every round and play absolutely perfectly at all times.

If not, it thinks it ranked you “too highly” because you had one non perfect game and sends you down like a sinking ship.

Can any help. I didn’t recieved diamond breaker/stick for previous week.Only exp. Why??

I have to assume tdm is different from king. I got put in bronze 3 but last game made 1200 points and still couldnt get out of it.
I’m not worried about it…just seemed odd.

Every match.

Every single match it’s either quitters or on the team with players that clearly are several ranks below.

Why?

At diamond 3 I keep getting the worst teammates to exist. Played 3 matches in a row where at the start of the match one teammate quits. Yet I’m loosing points at the end of the match for carrying the the team and pulling mvp? I’m not talking by a few points either I’m talking by thousands. This ■■■■ is Infuriating and demotivating. Why can’t this system just match us with people of our skill as teammates why make us have to think for our team just to get near a win to only find out we loose points

Asian players cannot find any ranking matches !!! No one in the Asian server is playing the ranking game anymore, If we wanted to connect to a north American server, our ping would be higher than 150ms, so we can’t find a ranking game even if we wait for hours.
You really should take some steps to make ranking matches available to Asian players.

Had this EXACT problem last night. Won a 3 round game and was 2nd place on the scoreboard. Lost 400+ points and dropped 4% in rank. 84% Silver 3 now
I swear, Onyx 3 was easier to rank up in in than this

Its a f^cking joke @TC_Clown. 2 quitters and Im second place

@N0DEZER0 Please can you explain this. Every time I play with randoms I drop a crazy amount of points even though Ill be MVP or in 2nd.

I would post some cringy screenshots of post match leaderboards that led me to derank but too bad I had to delete them couldn’t handle seeying how pathetic and embarrassing this ranking system is
Fix this ■■■■ already I paid for a functioning game

@ll_R_E_D_l

Would you like it more if they placed a cap on the points gain/loss?
And not make it be based of W/L.

Lets say you can gain a max of 100 points but also only lose a max of 100 points.
Would ofc make the grind far longer but would also cause a lot more stability in the tiers.

I certainly would. It’s not fair how you usually gain 100>600 for a win but can lose thousands for a loss.

A cap would make it a lot less frustrating. @III_Essence also came up with this idea on our discord the other day.

You could also question the need for rank resets if they make a cap.

I would like it to be consistent. I shouldnt be losing that many points when there are quitters. 2 people quit in the first round and I lose almost 500 points even though I was one of the top 2 players in the lobby the whole game. And we werent even favored to win

I honestly think if we want consistency regarding point gain/loss.

A point cap would be needed.

Yea i thought rank was better but no its not i can 2-0 teams and lose 1000 points …win 5 games get 1000 points …lose 1 game and lose 1000 points??? Broke.
